At a certain medical conference, there are only doctors and nurses. If 4 people are to be randomly chosen from the conference attendees, what is the probability of randomly choosing at least n doctor(s)? 1) The probability of randomly selecting 4 nurses is 1/32) n = 1

Option A: 4 nurses prob = 1/3, so rest is (combination of nurse + doctor or only doctor) = 2/3 . Moreover 1/3 does say that there are total 12 people comprising of nurse and doctor ....we also do not know how many doctors are there in 12 (may be 1, or 2 or 8 max)

now prob of selecting n doctor so it can be 1 doctor , 2 , 3 or 4.... accordingly prob will be different

so A is not sufficient

Option B: n = 1....so we need only 1 doctor but number of people , doctor or nurse we do not know..population size is also not known

Option B is not sufficient

Lets combine A and B, still we can't say because 1 out of how many doctors we do not know as we do not proportion of nurse and doctor in team of 12...may be 4, 8 or 6,6, 3, 9
